DoDonPachi Resurrection Reignite

[後半に日本語レビューあり] [h1]Classic Bullet Hell Reignited with a New Stage and Shooting Royale[/h1] Built from the vertical bullet-hell shooter that began in arcades in 2008 and later reached Steam in 2016, this new release has been reworked by CAVE itself. It keeps the beauty and tension of the original bullet patterns while adding a new stage, new characters, new BGM, and Shooting Royale, where up to 10 players compete at once. Rather than leaning on nostalgia alone, it returns to Steam in 2026 with the series' familiar feel intact and new ways to play layered on top. At its heart is classic CAVE-style bullet hell: read the flow of enemy fire, slip your ship through tiny gaps, and keep shooting. Patterns that look like solid walls at first gradually reveal routes after repeated attempts. Blue and pink bullets spread into geometric formations, creating the genre's signature tension as you weave between them. Huge lasers, explosions, and rising hit counts pile onto the screen, and the satisfaction of clearing a gap exactly as intended keeps pulling you into the next run. The new Stage 6 gives players who already know the existing stages a fresh reason to return. Read where bullets appear …

It's an ok release.Hope it leads to success and better things for Cave. This article interview with Cave helped me understand their thinking behind it. https://www.gamespark.jp/article/2026/08/27/171382.html If you want the arranges and all the older release on Steam is better, this is trying to achieve something a bit different.

I am sorry, I just have absolutely zero interest in a concept art unlock system that gives me only one (1) unlock's worth of currency for a full win of the online mode (And you need 100+ unlocks to see all the art), half that for setting my controller down and walking away, and also phones home online EVERY TIME I TRY TO UNLOCK SOMETHING just to prevent me from cheat engine skipping that nonsense. You can take Cave out of the phone game but you can't take the phone game out of Cave.

Dodon-Fortnite (mostly) against bots. This game was resurrected one time too many, I think. It’s a total downgrade from the version I bought almost a decade ago. And I absolutely hate unlocking things in games. I already paid for it — just give it to me, you know? In the old game I can change my wallpapers right from the start without being forced to play a dead Battle Royale.

"NOT DEAD YET." It's dead.

The game is great. It's unfortunately that there are little players online, which come due to some harsh reviews. This port is a 'plain' arcade port with assist mode if you want to learn the game. If you really want more training, you better get the other version with more versions and training modes. I can imagine why Cave did not release an 'updated' version from what was released earlier. Business wise, that would kill the other release and profits. Also, I think it would be more expensive to have it added. Cave finally develops and release a game after so many years. There are a lot of fans for their games, not sure why there is so many people bashing this one. A little bit more gratefulness would be in place. For the price I don't think it's that bad. I love the chaos with online playing (and normally I am not an online player at all), even though it's mostly bots. Gameplay might not be perfect, but I think that's part of the fun. Sometimes I can't see why I died, but later on, I think it makes more sense if you understand the game better. This game is more recommended for players who already familiar with the game. I do hope more people will start playing this game. I r…
